Geth Plasma SMG

The Geth Plasma SMG is a multiplayer weapon first available in Mass Effect 3. Only available after downloading the Resurgence Pack, it is randomly alloted in an item cache.

Similar to the Geth Spitfire heavy weapon, the Plasma SMG fires supercharged ammunition that plasters the target with hot plasma. Holding the fire button continously will increase your rate of fire, which will in turn deplete your clip just as rapidly. The result is a small firearm that can turn a Geth trooper into a pile of spuddering goo in a matter of seconds.

Headshots are advisable because of the SMG's better than usual accuracy and ability to spit out unbroken fire. It is more accurate than most SMGs and even a few assault rifles.

It is not advisable to equip this weapon if your character uses fast-recharge powers. Every time you stop to use an ability, the SMG needs to warm up to full fire rate. This short period of time will leave you open to attack.

Using the SMG magazine and heat sink mods will greatly increase your ammo capacity. This will also imporve the time you can fire within each magazine. Gone are the days of constantly looking for an ammo crate during a heated battle.

This SMG is slightly better against armor than other weapons in it's class. While other firearms are better tasked for the job, the Geth Plasma SMG is an adequate substitute if another gun is not available.
